I just tried the Fedora 42 upgrade. I started the upgrade, left it installing and when I came back later there was a kernel panic screen due to being unable to mount vfs.
I rebooted, selected the previous fc41 kernel and I could start the system. I looked in /boot and there was no initramfs for 6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64
So I then ran sudo dnf reinstall kernel-core-6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64 which failed because bc was missing. I installed bc and tried again but this time I got:
os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c:10516:25: error: initialization of ‘int (*)(struct wiphy *, struct wireless_dev *, unsigned int, int *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct wiphy *, struct wireless_dev *, int *)’ [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

Complete!
Because of this it fails to build.
It would seem the kernel is broken but I can find no reports of other having the same problem.
Now I also seem to have a half-installed system - when I run dnf upgrade I am now getting problems:
